Next season, many are skeptical of Ricky Rubio being able to bounce back for the Cleveland Cavaliers. It’s a fair take to have.
This now-past season was a forgettable one for the veteran lead guard. He had 5.2 points and 3.5 assists per contest, in what was only 33 appearances in the regular season.
Rubio’s shooting splits were also, well, less than stellar. He connected on a putrid 25.6 percent of his three-point attempts, and his true shooting rate was a career-worst 44.2 percent.
Granted, it was not going to be a season where he was going to have the same effect he had for the Cavaliers as compared to the 2021-22 campaign pre-injury.
